HE3T Kenmore Frontload Washer Random Draining Problems

This should take 30 minutes: Remove the panel that is located below the front door, there are 3 small screws located at the bottom that hold this... you will see the water pump, which has a access screw plug. Unscrew this, its like a filter, you may see stuff, like coins, socks, etc, remove and clean out, then put
everything back... this should fix the issue.

Hi,

Problems with a washing machine not spinning or not draining are often interrelated..

Make sure the rubber seal around the door is not a) pinched and bent out of shape b) degraded/deteriorated/ripped/cracked.
Also make sure no one knocked anything and bent anything out of shape.
Is your washer draining properly, otherwise?

can you give me some explanation on what you did to replace the spring?. did you have to take the washer apart?. check the wire. maybe you forgot or did not plug all the way a connector. or came apart. my impression is that something came loose and the computer is not detecting a connection.

Remove the drawer detergent dispenser. Then feel around in the front of the empty drawer tray for any missing detergent caps or chunks of anything. This can cause your issue - and can be an easy fix.

My f11 code is repaired! I got a clamp from Home Depot put it on the ccu unit on the right side tightened it shut and haven't got the stinking f11 code ever since. No more banging it again! I can finally do my wash without the horror beeping sound going off every time.

I have the same problem. It started a few weeks ago. I did get it to work for a while by unplugging from the wall outlet. When you plug back in, you can choose one clcle and it will work. I repeated this 3 times and it went back to normal for 3 weeks until today. Trying to find a true permanent fix. unplugging and replugging resets something, will work temporarily

It appears your timer/main controller/CCU has failed in this instance.

For replacement parts - head on over to PartSelect.com or RepairClinic.com and enter in your full model number for a full parts listing.
I recommend both sites because ...


FixYa has no affiliation with either site - I have been using and recommending them for years - trouble free.

PartSelect has a great schematic database for locating the part on your unit and great "testimonials" for each part that often times includes HOW-TO information.
RepairClinic has pictures of each part they sell and also a great how-to and troubleshooting for basic repairs.


If your unit has never been serviced - there should still be an original service manual enclosed in plastic taped to the inside of the shell.
In the service manual are Error codes, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting steps you can follow.


Anything too complicated or beyond your scope should be handled by a professional.

If you think you want to tackle the repair - and have gotten stuck on a step - reply to your question and I will be glad to help you out.

it either is the something in the pump or something in between the inner tub and outer tub

After the complete wash cycle is finished, the clothes are still soaking wet sometimes. This is not an every load problem.
